Posted by Thien Lan on February 10, 2015November 4, 2017 in Food, Oerlikon, Zurich

I’m French, so I know my desserts, in particular cakes and pastries. I’m Asian so I know what’s good too! In Sydney we found a couple of French style bakeries like Victoire in Cammeray and Darlinghurst, La Renaissance in the…

This restaurant review is for the locals. I’m sure you’ve been shopping in Dietlikon at the big Coop supermarket (which is our absolute favourite because of their French lay-out and scan system), Ikea, H&M, Jumbo or Toys R Us. Maybe you’ve even been…

Posted by Thien Lan on January 15, 2015January 15, 2015 in Asian Food, Food, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Zurich

I’m always on the look out for Asian restaurants near me so I went to try Kang-In in Dubendorf. Very hard to find: they don’t have a big sign post at the top of the building. I drive by almost…

Nicer Dicer Plus

Posted by Thien Lan on December 18, 2014December 18, 2014 in Food, Recipes
